Lightweight trainers are (suprise! ) lighter weight training shoes, which are made lighter
by reducing the amount of EVA or cushioning in the midsole and by using thinner,
lighter weight materials in the upper. Some lightweight trainers are not
as stable or as well cushioned as a full-fledged training shoe.
Therefore, if you need a lot of stability, a lightweight trainer is probably not a good shoe
for you as an everyday trainer.
You would be better off getting a good stability or motion control shoe for your everyday trainer.
Then, if you want a second, lighter shoe for speed workouts or racing, a stable lightweight trainer
would be a good choice. Just be sure that the model you choose has stability features like a dual density midsole
and is rigid through the arch. The DS-Trainer from Asics is usually one of the more stable lightweight trainers.
However, if you don't have severe biomechanical problems and you are an efficient runner,
a lightweight trainer could work for you as an everyday trainer.
